Ann: Trading Update, page-49

None of us went broke taking a profit. One cannot often pick the top of the market as by definition, few do. There's always individuals (and institutions) wiser and smarter.

But I continue to shop at MYR in person and online as it has excellent ranges not always found at competitors, good service and importantly, unlike WES' Catch or perhaps others, doesn't run any questionable 'offers' that from my reading result in unfulfilled orders and shopper disappointment.

Shopper satisfaction with MYR must be pretty high judging by what has been its growing online sales, although we need March confirmation of this for IH 22. 'Click'N'Collect' may also be doing quite well. There've been large number of orders awaiting collection when I've picked up these.

Other retailers will be watching for signs that MYR's online arm continues to perform OK, though labour costs may be a concern.
